Over the weekend, Republican South Carolina Senator Darline Graham Nordone sat down with former South Carolina GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy on Fox News, where the pair spoke about what her priorities will look like should she secure a victory in November’s midterm election.
Graham Nordone, who was chosen by state leadership to fill the vacancy left behind by her brother, Lindsey Graham, after he very suddenly kicked the bucket last month, insisted that her “first priority” will be to “fight for South Carolina and… help President Trump achieve his agenda.”
“Lindsey was focused on national security, and I know that’s important, but I will probably be focused more on affordability and what matters to families in South Carolina, struggling families,” Darline told Gowdy.
“I know what it is to struggle, and living paycheck to paycheck,” she said as she recalled the difficult childhood she and her brother Lindsey suffered after both of their parents died when she was just a child.
All of that sounds perfectly well and normal at first glance — the very same stereotypical false promises any good Republican makes as they look you in the face and swear to make things all better before they head on up to Capitol Hill and vote to make things worse.
